I'm afraid the bag is going to tilt or fly off when taking sharp, speedy turns. Has this happened to anyone?

The Quick-release mounting system is very good. No problem the bag stay in place.

No, that won't happen, I ride about 1.5 miles on a very bumpy dirt road, with no problems. The one thing i can say is that if it is loaded heavy, it does change some of the ride characteristics at high speed. But it is very secure.

It is very sturdy and would take a good deal of force to move when riding. You will be fine.

I agree with everyone else here. The only time the bag might come off is if you didn't seat it full when attaching. Even that is not likely since you'll hear a very loud click when the bag engages the bracket.

We've had ours on the bike since December, it's pretty secure. I don't believe it will tilt or fly off.

The bag in the Ibera rack is lock into place very securely. I have not had any issue with it moving or falling off. It has a firm botten that sits snug in place and the latch is quite strong. No worries here.

Never ever. I drive my bike crazy. It never comes off. The clip on is made very well

There is actually a bungee cord that runs from each side of the bag to hold it down. Unfortunately, my bungee snapped off a long time ago. The bug currently flaps a bit when I turn (not as much in the wind), but I have not found this disruptive. I still use the bag several times per week.

Not always.Between the Thudbuster and Brooks B17 saddle I can't use my seat mounted bag anymore.The tongue where the bag latches on is now too short.Maybe it's because of the saddle, and not the Thudbuster, but clearly the answer is: "not always".

It does tip over but not as easy as they say, I love the bag and tipping over has a lot to do with how it is packed, I would not hesitate to buy another

I've never experienced this. I just tried to tilt it, but couldn't. We've taken it on pretty steep hills, too.

I had similar reservations, but since I had been through the initial assembly when the product was new, I expected it to work out. It did, though not intuitively from the photographs. The flaw in this design is that, unless extraordinary care is taken in carrying it, a corner of the bag will drag on the ground, inflicting wear on the zipper reinforcement. Be careful.

I've found that if the bag isn't packed very full, it wants to tip over onto its top unless I place most of the items on what would be the bottom when standing upright. When the bag is full, it stands on its own, no problem.

There is a small shock cord at the bottom that can be wrapped around the bike frame. Also, they would not flop much since the side against the bike frame is the thick outside part of the bag...just unfolded. This gives the panniers some stiffness.

Dear Jason,The handle does not rotate. The bag rotates easily enough when you'repulling it and you rotate the handle. But it's not a bag that has 4 casterson the bottom, like some suitcases. I typically pull it behind me,with the handle at an angle. Then the bag follows me on its two wheels.I hope this helps.

I think it's to tall. I ride with the bag behind me( facing me) and the round behind it facing backwards.

The rack(or bag) is not going to come off, no way... but yes, if you ride hard enough, with enough weight in it, the bag might shift a little. It's a good setup, and designed well. functional... Any movement would come from basic seat post design limitations. this is a good unit. with no problems. The quick-disconnect is super.

Never tried it but if the bag was rotated to one side I think the two straps would hold secure but look a little strange. Good luck.

Good question. Never had that problem, but the zipper on mine got stripped a couple of months ago so I'm getting a new one just like the old one. Great little bag though, no complaints on mine, got a lot of good use out of it.

My concern would be the edges of the prism ruining the duffel bag.http://roneibschutz.com/

Hi Henry. Personally, I decided to "rig" mine a little differently. The supplied straps help but the bag will sway from side to side. I bought black shoe lace and looped it inside the supplied buckles, under the seat and back to the other side. If you do it right, you cannot see anything unless someone is looking for it. Made a big difference when riding.

The side covers open 180 degrees and keep the inside bags from going into the rear wheel. The bag is much wider than the wheel and with the hard side cover behind it the bag comes nowhere never the wheel. I have used it to go grocery shopping and really filled up the bags and have had no problems with it at all.

Yeah, there is a bungee cord thing that you attached to the bag. It doesnt completely stop the bag from swinging, but it does help.
